Step 1: Tassel Ends

Place skein in shoebox and have the end come from a hole located on the side of the box. (mine conveniently already had one ^_^ ) So, as you are working with the yarn, it won't matter if the skein is rolling around or not because it is secured within the box the whole time.

I need to have braid yarn ends coming from the tassel poof. I used the shoe box to wrap the yarn around multiple times and cut in one area to get multiple yarn strands. Used cereal box in the past. Really just depends on how much or little you need.
